How to make a Steampunk Lamp. (Sorry, this lamp has been sold ) My attempt to make a steampunk lamp. I bought some pvc pipe 32 mm and copper pipes and bits,28mm The wood is pine 12 mm. Moving everything around to find a nice composition It's starting to look better. From an old wall lamp I trying to make a switch, here you can also see the holes I drilled for all the pipes. Here the switch mounted underneath, the switch is a push type switch for a doorbell, it also has a little light in it when it's switched off. welded all the copper together and installed the turn valve., the pvc pipes been painted in gold . The valve is also working as a switch, inside I installed a little push button switch, the lamp itself is placed behind the pipes. not shown in this picture.

Steampunk Lamp, Part 1.   This morning I woke up with the idea to make a steampunk lamp, after searching in my shed for all  my old bits, I started with the lamp. First I screwed a plank to my workbench to screw the fitting down. I drilled a hole to get the wire through.  Here I got the wires through the pipe, I am finding it more difficult then I thought. Because I am using old bits, everything is in different sizes., 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch. Pfff It's like a giant puzzle. Here I got the wire trough but I could't get through the next few bends, so I just drilled a hole and this piece of cable will be visible. I have soldered everything together.  Here some pics, The base needs to be sanded and stained,  And I want it all the same colour so I will need to paint some parts, don't want to paint the copper.  It's starting to look better, but  still want to add more things. So this is part 1, will be continued.... Update...
